Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a baking dish (around 9×13 inches) with butter or non-stick spray.
Prep the Peaches
- In a large bowl, combine the peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

- Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Make the Crisp Topping
- In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt (if using).
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assemble and Bake
- Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
- Allow the peach crisp to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips for Making the Best Peach Crisp Ever
- Choose ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.
- If peaches are out of season, you can use frozen or canned peaches (drained) as an alternative.
- For added crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts (like pecans or almonds) into the topping mixture.
- Adjust the sugar levels to taste, especially if your peaches are very sweet.
Enjoy your peach crisp, and happy baking!
